Jorge...
Here's a clip of the LaBella flats on my 4001C64S, just so you can have a general idea of the tone they might give your bass.

RIckenbacker factory strings on my 4003
Nobody asked, but I will offer I use the Roto 66 SS rounds on my 75 4001. They are lighter tension than the Fenders I had on there for about 15 years. Believe it or not!

I use the RS77LD on my '88 4003S and think they are great.

Just a suggestion to revive this thread...
Pyramid flats provide the perfect feel and tone for the Rickenbacker basses - IME/IMO/YMMV. Not as floppy as TIs, and not as stiff as Rotos or LaBellas, but JUST right! Nice pluck (with a pick) and great tone!
Just one caveat - It can sometimes be a challenge to get a good set of four strings in the first go... In the last couple of years, the E was problematic... Several years ago the G and D strings were troublesome, for the shorter scale Hofners anyway...
Speaking of Hofner, Pyramid makes the Hofner strings. They are the perfect strings for Hofner basses as well (again, IME/IMO/YMMV).
